How many sites do you guys have?

My buddy Bob is coming and camping in his tent. I'm crashing in my car. Should I reserve my own site?

We drove by on 4-4 (thurs) and there were less than 15 sites taken. We thought you guys were going up on 4-4 and were looking , but didn't see the "the van." Hope you guys get'em good, but most importantly stay safe!!

Hope you guys have an AWESOME time (I know you will), get some good water time in, and find some yummy treasures.

Sorry would love to come up here but it is looking worse every time I check the Marine report. Not worth going up here unless I could get out in the ocean. Hanging with you fellas would be worth the cost of gas but need to keep the WAF account for actual fishing and abing.  :smt005 Be safe if you go out in the ocean.

dang Dustin this is what I saw as conditions:

Thu: N winds 20 to 30 kt. Waves...NW 13 ft at 10 seconds.

Fri: N winds 15 to 25 kt. Waves...NW 9 ft at 10 seconds.

Sat: N winds 15 to 25 kt. Waves...NW 11 ft at 9 seconds. and the swell wasn't looking the best either.

Looks good to me, but I'm not a diver, so...


Friday: WNW wind around 10 kt. Sunny. Mixed swell...WNW 6 ft and ...becoming WNW 5 ft. Wind waves around 1 ft.

Saturday: NW wind around 10 kt. Mostly sunny. Mixed swell...WNW 6 ft and SW 1 ft. Wind waves around 1 ft

Inside Albion cove is almost always doable and Andy knows where to go to get abs very close to shore.  I would be really surprised if the fellas aren't able to get out and bring back some snails and urchins to camp.

There is also Van Damme right up the road which is diveable in all but the worst conditions.

If I had time I would be up there in a heart beat.

Swell report. :smt005 :smt005.. Swell schmel!  :smt044.. I have the crab pot setup Dusty.. Do you have A small weber? Would be cool to float it up the river and do A little exploring in the woods. We also have A few non divers that will be bringing bank fishing gear. Plan on checking out glass beach and some of the local tavers as well. :smt006.. Stoked!
